Bio: Hi! I'm Kaitlyn, and I'm a senior studying Data Science and Design Innovation. I am passionate about the intersection between art and technology, and believe that creativity is just as important as technical skill! I joined GDD because I am interested in exploring how art and coding come together to form full-fledged games. I hope that my graphics can help spread the word about GDD and encourage more people to join our community!

Bio: Hello! I'm Josh, a sophomore studying EECS and a lead facilitator for the Game Design and Development Decal! Teaching is a great way for me to share the joys (and frustrations) of game development with other people, and I hope to meet you all through the club and Decal and lament about gacha games!

Bio: I am a 4th year studying Japanese who also does Sound Design for Video Games. Being a Lead Facilitator gives me an opportunity to share with others my passion for game design and guiding those that share that passion. I am a fan of all video games no matter how crazy or interesting they are! Currently, I am super into Lethal Company, so let's make this quota and keep it going!

Quote: Life isn't about what you gain, but what you leave behind.

Bio: Hey everyone! I'm Shibo, a senior studying CS. I took the game development decal last semester and had an absolute blast. It was so much fun, in fact, that I decided to come back and be a facilitator this time around! When I'm not diving into code, you can find me on my guitar or playing games like Apex Legends or Dead by Daylight. Overall, I look forward to meeting all the new decal students and I hope I can help make this a memorable experience as it was for me.
